Elvira

Meet Elvira, a one-and-a-half-year-old Pit mix weighing 57 pounds. <br/><br/>Elvira is the kind of dog who makes you smile the moment you meet her. With her beautiful dark grey coat, expressive ears, and always-wagging tail, she radiates joy and affection. Elvira came to us after being hit by a car, but this tough girl bounced back fast! Thankfully, X-rays showed no broken bones, and she’s been making a speedy recovery ever since. Her spirit is as strong as her heart is big.<br/><br/>She’s friendly with everyone she meets – humans and dogs alike – and has already made a great impression on a doggy friend during her time here. Elvira lives for treats, loves attention, and will gladly be your shadow if it means more cuddles (and maybe a snack or two). If you're looking for a loving, happy-go-lucky companion who’s overcome the odds and still greets life with a tail wag, Elvira is ready to meet you.<br/><br/>This pet is available for adoption on 9/26/2025 at 1:52 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.<br/><br/>Did you know YHS offers a "Play Date" program?<br/><br/>Whether you are interested in adopting or just want to hang out with a furry friend, it's a fun way to spend an hour, an afternoon or even a couple days.
